Jury finds Wisconsin man guilty of threatening Obama

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A federal jury has convicted a Wisconsin man of making threats against President Barack Obama last summer.

The Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/1RBfoQc ) reports jurors on Tuesday found 55-year-old Brian Dutcher of Tomah guilty on two counts.

Dutcher was accused of writing a Facebook comment about assassinating the president on June 30. He also allegedly told a La Crosse Public Library security guard on July 1 that he planned to assassinate Obama when the president visited La Crosse the next day.

Dutcher did not testify during his trial. Sentencing is set for March 15.
